Composed by Matt Turner, Moonlight Odyssey for string orchestra is a hard-driving piece which takes the listener on an adventure full of rhythmic twists and turns as well as Middle Eastern-flavored melodies.

The tremolos in mm. 3 and 7 should shimmerplay very quietly but intensely. Exaggerate and move quickly through the crescendo in mm. 12 and 16. The ostinato section beginning in m. 10 should be staccato (as marked) and precisebe careful not to rush! Cellists and bassists should rock out and emphasize the accented notes in mm. 50 and 51 to set up the next section. Exaggerate dynamics throughout.

The title Lucky Seven is a play on the fact that portions of this piece are in 7/8 time grouped in 2+2+3. It gives it a really fresh groove as the piece floats in and out of this 7/8 riff into regular 4/4 time. There is even a nice solo section with a sample solo if some of your students want to take a stab at improvisation. Matt Turner always provides teachers with interesting alternative music that can teach students how to groove and improvise. This is an infectious piece that students will like to play.
Lucky Seven is in arch form (ABCBA). The A-section begins in and moves to a pop-music feel in the B- section (m. 21). An Afro-Cuban tumba bass-line figure is introduced in the C-section (m. 33). A sample solo (m. 53) is provided, but soloists are encouraged to improvise using an A-Mixolydian mode (A, B, C≥, D, E, F≥, G, A). The improvisations should be rhythmic. Feel free to borrow ideas from any of the composed material to assist in creating the improvisations. Perform with energy!

Matt Turner's impressive list of award-winning compositions will just keep growing as he adds pieces like this to his repertoire! Zydeco Zephyr starts out with some boogie-woogie and then moves to a fiddling style in the second half. Not only can you hear the train within the music, but this work also includes an opportunity for a soloist to improvise. An example solo is provided, but this is a great way to get your kids to express themselves musically.
Zydeco Zephyr combines elements of zydeco and bluegrass. Zydeco is a combination of many styles including Cajun, blues, and rock, and is known for its use of accordion, fiddle, and washboard. The first section of Zydeco Zephyr is influenced by doo-wop, a style zydeco musician Clifton Chenier used in his songs. The cellos introduce the second section with a “train” groove in m. 27. A solo section offers students the opportunity to improvise using a D mixolydian mode (D, E, F≥, G, A, B, C, D), and a sample solo is provided. This piece uses straighteighths (no swing!) and should be performed with a great deal of energy. Who knows, you may just make people in the audience get up and dance!Suggested listening: Clifton Chenier, King of the Bayous on Arhoolie Records.
